Otherwise they will rot.
:34:02
- Today I have half money for next payment.
- Absolutely not.

:34:05
I'm not going to take your savings.
:34:08
You take the money.
:34:09
$125. I will send more
from where I'm going.

:34:12
If it's not enough, sell my seven acres
and keep the money.

:34:15
I thought you were giving us those.
:34:19
Didn't you come in here giving them away?
Now you want to make up the other half...

:34:23
...in berries you expect us
to tend and pick?

:34:26
Is that what you come here hoping for?
:34:30
You want more coffee?
:34:32
No, thank you.
:34:34
- Take the money.
- Etta has been rude to you.

:34:38
For that, I apologize.
:34:41
Keep this money.
:34:44
Those payments will work out...
:34:46
The arrangement was,
those payments would be made...

:34:49
...somewhere down the road.
:34:52
The road ended
when my husband passed away.

:34:55
I couldn't run the farm by myself...
:34:57
...so I...
:34:59
...sold all 30 acres to Ole Jurgensen.
:35:03
And for a fair price this time.
:35:07
And I sent back their equity...
:35:09
...to those Japs down to that camp...
:35:11
...in California, which I didn't have to do.
:35:14
So they got all their money back?
:35:17
That was that.
:35:19
Did you hear from
the defendant's family again?

:35:21
Yes, I heard from them.
I heard from that one there.

:35:24
That one sitting there
just showed up at my door.

:35:32
Carl's overseas. He's fighting the Japs.
:35:35
- What is it you want?
- I came to get our land back.

:35:39
It isn't yours.
:35:40
- It's Ole Jurgensen's now. Talk to him.
- I just did.

:35:44
He didn't know it was ours.
You didn't tell him it was promised--

:35:47
I'm supposed to tell him there's
an illegal contract muddling things up?

:35:51
You people didn't make your payments.
:35:53
In America, the bank comes in
and repossesses your land.

:35:55
- I didn't do anything wrong.
- Nothing illegal.

:35:58
Wrong is a different matter.
